Abstract

The research was undertaken to assess students' perception
of continuous assessment as a precursor to academic
performance among junior secondary school students in Ogun
state. Five hundred and five students who were randomly selected
divided into two groups were involved in the study. Three null
hypotheses were generated for the study. Using student test to
analysed the data, results indicated that there is significant difference
between the perception of students from highly educated parents and
those from low education homes to Continuous Assessment as a
precursor to academic performance; here is significant difference
between the perception of male and female students to Continuous
Assessment and, there is no significant difference between the
perception of students from urban and rural students.
Recommendations were made based on these findings.
